Important combat support skill. Train it to at least IV (which allows up to 6 targets, unless the ship is not capable of that number). The number of targets that you can lock in a particular ship is the lesser of either (2 + Target Management skill + Advanced Target Management skill) or the ship's maximum targets (which can be increased with modules like Auto Targeting System or Signal Amplifier). No pilot can lock more then 12 targets (due to the skill limits) and they will have to train both Target Management V and Advanced Target Management V to do so.
